Airbag @ Poppodium 013 Tilburg – May 24, 2026

Airbag – melancholy, atmosphere and controlled intensity at 013 Next Summary In a well-filled 013 Next, Airbag delivered an intensely atmospheric performance built around melancholy, slow-burning tension and musical refinement. Following a strong opening set by Lesoir...

Lesoir @ Poppodium 013 Tilburg, May 24, 2026

Lesoir reveals renewed power in a packed 013 Next As support act for Airbag, Lesoir was given roughly forty minutes on stage in a packed 013 Next, but that proved more than enough to leave a remarkably strong impression. The band from Maastricht presented itself in...

The Gathering – Mandylion 30th Anniversary Tour Rockhal, Esch-sur-Alzette       Summary Thirty years after the release of Mandylion, The Gathering proved in a nearly sold-out Rockhal in Esch-sur-Alzette why the band still holds such a unique place within the European...

Sum of Seven – Echoes of the Hypermind

Picking my favourite tracks was difficult because there isn’t a bad one amongst them. Influences are inevitable and sometimes obvious here and there but that doesn’t diminish the fact that this is a great album.

Genus Ordinis Dei – The Beginning

This album grew on me the more I played it. There is much more variety within its 12 tracks than it first appears as well as melody. It has been three years since their previous release. Whilst that is not too long compared to some bands, I hope they are already working on the next one.

Concert Reviews

Epica with Vuur and Myrath, Hamburg 13 November 2017

A very interesting package, consisting for two bands led by two of the best Dutch female voices out there – Epica with Simone Simons and Anneke van Giersbergen’s new band Vuur – and the oriental metal of Myrath from Tunisia. Definitely one of the concert highlights of 2017!

Leprous live in Hamburg

Tour review: Malina 2017 – Leprous, Agent Fresco, Alithia and Astrosaur

With all the surprises, strong support (or co-headliner) acts and a Leprous performance that seemed out of this world, the “Malina” tour ranks on the top of the list of 2017, for some (like our Munich reviewer Dario!) even leaving behind the likes of the Ayreon Universe shows and Shattered Fortress, both among the highlights of the concerts roster of 2017 in Europe. Leprous are superstars, and deservedly so.

Soen at Progpower Europe 2017

ProgPower Europe 2017

nce again, a small portion of Europe’s prog family (and a tiny part of the global one) gathered in the little Dutch town of Baarlo at the beginning of October to celebrate the annual ProgPower Europe (PPE) festival - this year it lasted from...

Evergrey in Flensburg, 04 October 2017

Evergrey with Need live in Flensburg, 4. October 2017

The Progspace’s North German base in Flensburg is not known to be a hot spot for progressive music, and so it came a bit as a surprise to us when we found out Evergrey from Sweden would stop by for a show in Flensburg’s Roxy club.

Epica – Arcane Dimensions Tour @ COS Torwar, Warsaw Epica’s performance at COS Torwar in Warsaw marked the closing chapter of an evening that was opened by Charlotte Wessels and Amaranthe — two sets that are covered separately elsewhere on this website. Some bands...

SPACE Quartet in Tienen – Progressive Spirit, Pure Improvisation

At first glance, SPACE Quartet might not seem like an obvious feature for an international progressive rock platform. A Belgian improvisation collective built around an electric sitar does not fit neatly into the conventional prog canon. Yet that is precisely why...
